Curricular applications of the Guides:
There are several sequences of Guides in the Study
Seven stages of writing assignments; etc. You are also
construct your own, as with "Study strategies" or "Learning with
others." These sequences can be developed and applied in one
class session or over a period of time.
Copy, paste, edit and print!
- Select a Guide, copy and paste it into your word processor
- Edit the text: adapt it with your class identifier,
students' names, local resources, etc.
- Reference and assign any interactive exercise on the Website
my daily schedule
- Print and distribute
- Assign an (short paragraph) assignment about the topic
on how they could apply one suggestion contained in the Guide
- Cite both the exercise and the source
Classroom topic of the week:
- Demonstrate an SGS “study skill” using your interactive whiteboard or
projector. Most of the topics provide interactive learning or another
assignment to help students practice the skill.
- Then have students work individually or with a partner to
similarly explore a
“topic of the week” and summarize their experience.
(These life skills are so necessary, but hard to fit
into the already crammed curriculum. SGS does a nice job of
integrating the study skills with curriculum content.
- Have students
create their own multimedia projects about study skills using a current
unit of study from your class.
